The songs we featured during the recap:
Piriri by Go Go King
Down by Jo Yu ri
Ban Ji eum’s sad realization that the loved ones she left behind are still suffering over her death.
One person who is no longer sad is Kim Ae-gyeong, who was Ban Ji eum’s niece during her 17th life. Kim Ae-gyeong is no longer alone and she’s had 15 or 16 wonderful years with Ban Ji eum.
Jesa, the practice of honoring ancestors and parents, by offering food and drink at an altar with photos of the deceased.
The amazing scene under the stand of cherry trees, during which Ban Ji eum tries to comfort Moon Seo ha.
Moon Seo ha plays Remember on the piano, the song that Yoon Ju won says she composed during a past life, and that Moon Seo ha should learn to play when he’s missing someone.
Ban Ji eum’s confession to Moon Seo ha on his birthday. She didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to share her feelings AGAIN.
Ban Ji eum’s mysterious comment that perhaps she was reincarnated right away because she was murdered.
Ha Do yoon’s altercation with Lee Ji seok, the son of the Chairman of Daehwan Group. He insulted Ha Do yoon and stepped on his phone. Moon Seo ha defends Ha Do yoon.
Who is the mysterious woman who replaced the flowers in the lobby with gladiolus?
Moon Seo ha’s rejection of Yoon Cho won’s arrival for her interview to do the landscaping at the hotel.
Yoon Cho won’s confession that she loves Ha Do yoon over dinner with Ban Ji eum.
Ban Ji eum takes Yoon Cho won to her parent’s home after a tender taxi ride during which Ban Ji eum feels very sisterly toward Yoon Cho won.
The reason Ha Do yoon didn’t want to see Moon Seo ha is because he and his brother were preparing a jesa ceremony for their brother.
The reunion between Ban Ji eum and Yoon Ju won’s mother that happened in Ban Ji eum’s imagination.
When Moon Seo ha sees Ban Ji eum swaying and hugging herself, he approaches, sees she is crying, and says “noona” when Ban Ji eum calls him Seo ha ya.
A possible new K Drama element: a person with conflicting loyalties!

THERE YOU GO!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for that line regarding the possible murder! Thought it was episode 2. That made me stop and accuse the step mother right away. There's hundreds of ways to kill someone and make it look like an accident, why use a truck!!? Like, that's so expensive.
About Shin Hye Sun - i first saw her in She was Pretty. She was really cute in it. I recommend you guys watch it! Her role is pretty minor, but remarkable. Spoiler: her character ran after a bus from one stop to the next 😭 i think she didn't won any awards for Mr. Queen because of issues surrounding it like Kim JungHyun's previous relationship and the historical "distortion" of the series. She actually laid low after Mr. Queen, and didn't have any shows/films for 2 years. This series is her comeback role.
About the new drama element "person with mixed loyalties/double crossing agent" - it's certainly there! it's in Extraordinary Atty. Woo (Atty. Kwon), Mr. Sunshine (Lee Wan Ik), The Glory (Hye Jeong), and Vincenzo (Atty. Choi), etc
I'm thinking that it can be part of a bigger element umbrella of people who shows ambuiguity in their loyalty, like can't confirm if they're an enemy or not (Eugene & Dong Mae in Mr. Sunshine), suddenly switches sides at one point (Munyeong's mom in It's Ok Not To Be Ok) and/or confirms loyalty only with self (Yoon Ji Woo in My Name, Ashin herself in Ashin of the North, and Dong Eun in the Glory) This element was loaded and got me thinking. Bbuuutttt those I mentioned maybe a completely new element as well, who knows.
Looking forward to ep 4!!
I am so confused with the timeline because if MDL birthdates are correct, Jieum reincarnated before Joowon d format as other birthdays listed. Jieum was born on May 24, 1998. Joowon would have dited in October of 1998.
ReplyDeleteI think the stepmother tried to have Seoha killed so she can inherit the hotel. (And probably kill his dad too) I guess she hired the parents from Marry My Husband to drive the truck.
Music makes me so emotional, with both memory and the feelings it can evoke. Remember it also was important in CLOY with "Song for My Brother."
